How to Style a Faux Leather Leggings Outfit For Your 40+ Lifestyle
Looking for a way to wear faux leather leggings that works for your 40+ lifestyle? Here’s how to create a Faux leather leggings outfit that is casual and practical.
1. Think Sporty
There are many ways to wear faux leather leggings ranging from wildly rock n’ roll to seriously high fashion, but if you are a mature gal and have a laid-back lifestyle, a sporty look works really well. Think energetic, fun, and practical.
2. Start With High-Quality Leggings
A sporty leggings outfit starts with high-quality faux leather leggings. My favorite brand is Spanx. Their faux leather leggings have a high-power waistband, so no muffin top. It’s wide and contoured to flatten your stomach, and it gives you a perky bottom. These leggings are the perfect thickness – not too thin or too thick, and really hold their shape.
3. Pair Leggings with a Tunic Sweater
For a sporty fall look, pair your leggings with a long tunic sweater in deep, rich fall color.
This gorgeous burgundy knit tunic is stunning against these dark leggings and creates a warm, cozy, casual vibe. The cute, snap-up side slits make it playful and sporty.
4. Wear Statement Sneakers
Heeled booties with faux leather leggings are when you want a sexy look, but most times, you want to be comfy. Keep your feet happy with a pair of fabulous statement sneakers.
These metallic snake print ones by cole Haan are so chic. Not only are they comfy, but they have a slight sheen, which works well with the subtle sheen on the leggings.
5. Push Up Your Sleeves
For a more energetic and youthful look, push up your sweater’s sleeves to expose some forearms.
6. Add Sunglasses
Don’t forget a pair of cool sunglasses! These are from Quay Australia, a new brand I’ve discovered that has fabulous sunglasses at reasonable prices. I love the gradient lenses, and the subtle gold glitter finish!
7. Wear Minimal Jewelry
A sporty look is simple and casual. Keep jewelry to a minimum. What a cute outfit for running errands or working from home!
